Some Richie McCaw stats:
His playing record for the All Blacks:
Overall, he has won 131 of 148 test matches for a 89.2% success rate.
It is nearly impossible to declare someone the best rugby player of all time – how do you compare McCaw and Colin Meads, when the game now is so different from then. Both are legends. But I think I can safely conclude he is at least the best player in my lifetime.
